The opening track ‘Blood I Bled’ is good example of an angry song that ends on a redemptive note. The album had been written over a period of intense touring and has captured that period in our lives. There are themes of uncertainty and unsettledness.

Come the quickening feet that fall
Come the gathering rain

If I was
If I am
If I ever did
If I ever have
You cut my roots and now my leaves are dead
They tumble down in pools of all the blood I bled
